48 hours reacted to Ram@Lincoln in Bolton Wanderers (H) Sat 21st Jan
My lad has a season ticket but barely comes, he got put off at away games due to the constant beer throwing and standing. Our tickets are in the North stand so relatively all quiet but it doesn't help, he's been scared already.

English football was in a dark place in those days post Heysel. I remember that admitting to being a season ticket holder or even following any club was not something you bragged about to people you didn't know. I think that we were all tarnished with the same brush as hooligans. It's so different now, the premier is awash with money, the grounds and playing surfaces are so much better. Modern fans have all been 'lifelong' fans, but many of those who could afford to follow their teams in the 70s/80s, can no longer do so.
In so many respects football has improved and for this, some thanks will go to the money from Sky and the tough restrictions from the government of the time. But also many things have been lost from the people's game, that's also down to the money from Sky and the government at the time.
Sometimes, I yearn for the old days, but then It's tempered with some bad memories of the old days.
I wish for the character of the old days, players earning great, but not mind blowing wages, players not faking injury, clubs owned by local rich fans, watching football from the terraces if you wish at prices which everyone can afford. I liked the fact that the top league wasn't financially that different to those leagues below it.
I'm happy that we have better stadiums, where you can go to the toilet in relative comfort and generally stay dry whilst watching the game without so many obstructions. The game is played on pitches in good condition throughout the season and we are able to see all of our games replayed back, if we wish. I'm happy that violence at the matches is greatly reduced. Unfortunately, I don't believe that my utopia will ever exist.

Can't be as bad a the open air on at Chesterfield at the game when it snowed.
Couldn't eat vanilla ice cream for years after that.

Did the bogs resemble those on the Popside at a 38,000 gate for the full experience?

Cheltenham away was the 81st ground where I have seen Derby play. My first match at the Baseball Ground was in 1966 aged 8 when my Father and Grandfather took me. First away game was Villa Park in 1968/69 during Clough and Taylors promotion season. Cheltenham's ground made me feel I was back in the 60's again (how lucky we are with Pride Park).
I stood behind the Derby dugout yesterday and loved it when Paul Warne popped round the side of the dugout and exchanged some jovial banter with the Cheltenham fans behind him. All in the best possible taste and another throw back to the good old days. How many grounds could that happen at nowadays ?
Finally, I don't think I have ever witnessed home fans applaud an away goal in the way the Cheltenham fans around me did with Birdy's screamer. A sporting response from football supporters very rarely seen in the modern game.
A great day yesterday but back to the 21st century next week against Bolton.

This what he said about Norwich n Cashin....
"If it is true I'd be amazed the chief exec hasn't told me because even more so I spoke to the head of football at Norwich in the last few hours"
Why is he speaking to head of football at Norwich today? Hugill?
Hugill also fits into what Warne said about a striker he is after...in the Champ, either early or late in their career and other Champ clubs want him

No thanks Hugill. Another lump with one gear, no better than Collins, with a huge hill (or Hugill) to climb just to recover some semblance of fitness.

Bit of a crazy game that one. Moyes has strong links with Everton and Lampard with West Ham.
Fingers crossed for a draw and Moyes stays in his job for at least another week

Heck. That looks a bit over complicated. I’m surprised the first 15 minutes of each window isn’t restricted to those that made a purchase from the club shop within the last 10 days, have a hammers tattoo or something. ?

Need the old 70's songs for this one...
We are the Pride of the Midlands

we are the Derby and we are the best
We are the champions so fck all the rest
